re: Are Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux part of the best starting rotation ever?

Watch Koufax throw and tell me how little stress he put on his arm.

He threw as hard as anyone...and retired early.

Koufax practically averaged 200 innings pitched per baseball season.

Twice he struck out 18 batters in a game.

In one year he went 25-5.

Name me a pitcher in the last 15 years that can match that?

Name me a pitcher who has started 30 games?
